Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Broom Street
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and new Year parties.
Near Broom Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. In December, it is dark in Broom Street by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the spot with the venue
- December Fridays go first: book early
Plan cover for the queue.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
